You're right "y" is not considering as a vowel But, the longest such word in Modern English is the obsolete 17th-century word "symphysy". Nonetheless, you are right, rhythm is the longest word without a vowel nowadays Hope it helped

The longest word is TWYNDYLLYNGS
Twyndyllyngs is the longest word in English that doesn't contain one of the five vowels (AEIOU). It comes from Welsh and is obviously rare, but it does appear in the Oxford English Dictionary.
It turns out that "twyndyllyng" (singular) is a 15th century spelling of the word "twinling," which means, in modern English, "twin."

GHTLNRTSSLPTMVXQQWTHSTHSTSTFKKNBBZMVNBXVCNBJHKLPBKMXHBDH --- it's an old word brought down from some classical language to mean "an old word brought down from another language".
i don't know how it is pronounced. i just know it doesn't have a vowel and cannot legally be made in Scrabble as it cannot fit onto the board.

Twyndyllyngs
it means "twin" and was spelled that way during the 15 Century. If that doesn't work, how about RYTHM
